Amber Benson To Take Part In The Queer Pioneers Online Panel On Saturday, 4 June

5/25/2022

Picture
Amber recently confirmed via her official Twitter account that she will take part in The Queer Pioneers conversation/panel next month.
 
The Queer Pioneers retrospective panel features three actors who played characters who were the first LGBTQ+ characters to have regular or recurring roles on TV. They made a significant impact not just on the storylines of their respective television shows but also on the audience watching at home. 
 
Amber played the role of Tara Maclay who spent three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Together with her co-star Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg) their characters were the first openly gay couple on a USA network television show. Joining Amber on this panel will be Wilson Cruz (My So-Called Life) and Jane Sibbett (Friends). Together they will discuss their experiences, triumphs and more, the panel will be moderated by Cameron Scheetz. 
 
The Queer Pioneers will take place on 4 June at 8 AM PT which I believe I'm correct in saying will be at 4 PM UK time. The great news for fans is that this panel is free to watch, simply click the link below and press the "Free to RSVP" button to reserve your free virtual ticket for this event. There is also the opportunity to donate to OUTFEST if you wish. The Queer Pioneers will be presented by IMDb.

This panel is part of the The OutFronts, a four-day festival taking place from Friday 3rd June through to Monday 6th June with a collection of panels, premiers and events connecting fans with talent from LGBTQIA+ shows on television. It premiers on OutMuseum which is the first LGBTQ+ arts and media virtual museum of its kind – available free to the public and part of OUTFEST the global LGBTQIA+ arts, media and entertainment organization.
 
I'm looking forward to listening to what I think will be a really interesting discussion and I'm delighted that fans everywhere will get a chance to watch it.

Amber Benson Has Narrated The Audiobook Version of Seasonal Fears Out Now via Audible In Both The UK & USA

5/25/2022

If like me, you're a fan of audiobooks as well as Amber then here is some exciting news. Amber has narrated the audiobook version of Seasonal Fears which was released earlier this month. Seasonal Fears was written by Amber's friend and fellow author Seanan McGuire.
 
If your regular visitor to the site, you may remember that in 2019 Amber narrated the audiobook version of Middlegame the first book in Seanan's Alchemical Journeys series. Now Amber is back to lend her vocal talents to the audiobook version of Seasonal Fears and help transport the listener back into Seanan's shadowy and dangerous world where alchemy exists.
 
Below is the official publisher's summary of Seasonal Fears. No copyright infringement is intended this is for informational purposes only:
 
“Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Seanan McGuire, Seasonal Fears is the extraordinary companion novel to Middlegame.
The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead. The fight for their crowns begins! 
Melanie has a destiny, though it isn’t the one everyone assumes it to be. She’s delicate; she’s fragile; she’s dying. Now, truly, is the winter of her soul.
 
Harry doesn’t want to believe in destiny, because that means accepting the loss of the one person who gives his life meaning, who brings summer to his world.
So, when a new road is laid out in front of them—a road that will lead through untold dangers toward a possible lifetime together—walking down it seems to be the only option.
 
But others are following behind, with violence in their hearts.
It looks like Destiny has a plan for them, after all....
“One must maintain a little bit of summer even in the middle of winter.” (Thoreau)
 
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor.com Imprint Quarterly.
 
©2022 Seanan McGuire (P)2022 Macmillan Audio”
 
Seasonal Fears audiobook is unabridged and out now. The audiobook is available to buy from Audible both here in the UK click here and in the USA click here. Both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members.
 
Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download Seasonal Fears as well as access to a vast library of audiobooks also available on the site. The number of books you can download in the month will depend upon your individual package, for full details see the respective Audible websites.
 
This update took me longer than I would have liked to add to the site due to work and other commitments but I'm really looking forward to listening to Seasonal Fears and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Amber Benson To Attend Cross Roads Convention In Birmingham UK In October

5/15/2022

Hugely exciting news, Amber is set to return to the UK to meet fans in person for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Here are the details. 
 
Star Fury Conventions have confirmed via their website that Amber will be a guest at their fifth annual Cross Roads convention. Cross Roads is a three-day event celebrating CW's long-running  hit television show Supernatural. 
 
After playing the role of ground breaking and much loved Tara Maclay for three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in 2006 Amber made her Supernatural debut in Season 2, Episode 3 'Bloodlust" as mysterious vampire Lenore. Amber would reprise the role of Lenore again in 2011, Season 6, Episode 19 "Mommy Dearest." Joining Amber will be fellow Supernatural actors Steven Williams, Alexander Calvert, Cindy Sampson and more. The convention will include autograph sessions, photo opportunities, guest talks, themed party nights and more.
 
Cross Roads will be held between 30th of September - 2nd of October 2022 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, Birmingham. I attended another event organised by Star Fury a few years ago which was enjoyable but they are much smaller than larger scale conventions. I have seen a tweet to say that they have already sold more than 50% of the available tickets for this event. This was before the website for this particular event went live so I can only assume people who attend regularly had already bought their tickets in advance.
 
For more information about the Cross Roads event including, tickets hotel accommodation and more please visit the official website at the link below.

This is hugely exciting news and I hope to be there with other fans to welcome Amber back to the UK.

Here is some really exciting news for Amber fans in the USA particularly if you live in or can travel to the Washington DC area. As organisers of Awesome Con confirmed recently via their official website that Amber will be among the special guests attending their upcoming convention. 
 
This news comes hot on the heels of it being announced that Amber is said to attend Fandom Fest 2022 in New York in August (click on the hyper link for details). As Awesome Con is in June I believe I'm correct in saying that this will be the first time Amber has met fans in person since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Awesome Con brings together stars of television, the movies, the comic book world and much more. It is set to take place between Friday 3rd and Sunday 5th June 2022. The Awesome Con convention is being held at: 
 
The Walter E. Washington Convention Center
801 Mt Vernon Pl NW
Washington, DC 20001
USA
 
If like me, you're also a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as Amber there is more exciting news as Amber will be joined at the event by her friend and fellow Buffy The Vampire Slayer actor Charisma Carpenter. Amber and Charisma will take to the stage together to look back at twenty-five years of Buffy in what I'm sure will be a very exciting panel/conversation.
 
For more information including how to buy tickets, autographs, photo opportunities and more click the link below to visit the official Awesome Con website.

I hope everyone who is able to attend has a fantastic time. I'd like to thank fellow Amber fans Katie and Nigel for both giving me a heads up about this exciting appearance by Amber.

Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design Written By Amber Benson will be shown again on UK TV Today

5/2/2022

Here is some good news for UK Amber fans as Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design written by Amber will be shown on UK TV again today. Amber has forged a successful career as a novelist as both the author of the Calliope Reaper-Jones series and The Echo Park Coven Trilogy amongst others, in recent years Amber has focused on writing for television.
 
In 2019 she got the chance to pen two fictional murder mysteries for the small screen, first she wrote the teleplay for Morning Show Mysteries: A Murder In Mind. Then quickly followed this up by writing Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design. This is the second time Amber has written for this popular series both of which aired on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel in the USA.
 
The Morning Show Mysteries series centers on Billie Blessings (Holly Robinson Peete) a successful restaurateur who also hosts the cooking segment on Wake Up West Coast, a popular TV show. Billie was once suspected of murder but after clearing her name with the help of Detective Ian Jackson (Rick Fox) the two remained friends and are growing even closer as they find themselves at the heart of another mystery.
 
In Death By Design Billie’s best friend Marian is hired to redecorate the Wake Up West Coast studio. The decorating comes to a sudden and shocking halt when Marian’s twin sister is found murdered. So naturally Billie and Ian are hot on the trail of the killer.
 
The exciting news for Amber fans in the UK is that Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design will be shown again today at 2:15 PM on Channel 5 and at 3:15 PM on Channel 5+1.
 
There are different channel numbers depending on which digital TV platform you use. I would check on-screen guides and any local channel listings for the correct channel numbers.  I've embedded the US trailer below so you can get a taste of the movie.
This will be a Bank Holiday treat for all fans in the UK, I'm sorry for the short notice on this particular post I only found out they were showing it again this morning I hope you still have time to catch it.
